Microlocal Sheaves on Affine Slodowy Slices

Time：Friday, 10:30 - 11:30 am May 19, 2023

Venue：Ning Zhai W11

Organizer：Will Donovan, Penghui Li, Peng Shan, Changjian Su

Speaker：Michael McBreen Chinese University of Hong Kong

Abstract

I will describe certain moduli of wild Higgs bundles on the line, and explain why they are affine analogues of Slodowy slices. I will then describe an equivalence between microlocal sheaves on a particular such space and a block of representations of the small quantum group. Joint work with Roman Bezrukavnikov, Pablo Boixeda Alvarez and Zhiwei Yun.

Speaker

I study the intersection of representation theory, symplectic geometry and mathematical physics, focusing on conformal field theory, supersymmetric gauge theory and topological string theory.

Microlocal sheaves and affine Springer fibers
Abstract The resolutions of Slodowy slices $\widetilde{\mathcal{S}}_e$ are symplectic varieties that contain the Springer fiber $(G/B)_e$ as a Lagrangian subvariety.In joint work with R. Bezrukavnikov, M. McBreen and Z. Yun, we construct analogues of these spaces for homogeneous affine Springer fibers. We further understand the categories of microlocal sheaves in these symplectic spaces support...
